If you will be buying electric powered hanging paper lanterns
, try to estimate the size of the cord. Ensure that it is long enough so that you can pull it from the socket to the place you intend to set up your lights. Usually, an electric cord is part of the package. In case it is not long enough, you can always use extension cords. Installation procedure must not be quick. Do it step by step so you can avoid tearing the paper and thus exposing the lamp. Lanterns' configuration is collapsible, which makes assembling and dismantling very easy.
